Need to be able to get back to the forum being searched
Need to be able to get back to the forum being searched
- When visiting a forum normal protocol is to search the forum and see if someone else has asked what you are wanting to ask. So we use the search box that searches within the forum and read through the results and determine that the question we need to ask has not already been asked and answered. At this point we want to post to the forum but on the search results screen there is no way to get back to the forum ... we basically have to click the MSDN Forums tab at the top again and find the forum again.

In the Forums app we do a search inline when you ask a question. Click ask a question, enter your title, and we will do a search fo you and show "related questions" for you. try it and let us know if it works for you.
However I do agree that we can do a better job of helping forums users return to the forum from which they started a search.
